Scratched front wheel

Post by Wombat » Sun Apr 29, 2007 11:45 am

What's a "ballpark" figure for a second hand front wheel? Noticed a crack (very fine,2 -3cms long) on the front rim today. Not sure if it's metal fatigue or just a paint crack.It looks like something sharp has hit it. Will keep my eye on it if it gets worse. To me it doesn't seem structural as you can see the under primer through the scratch. Will ring a few wreckers and see what they've got.
